Chapter 4

"Sunpaw, Leafpaw, step forward." As Sunpaw and Leafpaw stood beside their mentors
Sandclaw and Leopardfrost, I was welling up with pride. "Sandclaw," I meowed. "Do you
believe that Sunpaw has learned the ways of the warrior, and will uphold StarClan's noble
code as long as she lives?" Sandclaw nodded. "I believe she is very well ready to become a
warrior." Sunpaw could barely contain her excitement, Leafpaw had to nudge her to settle
down. "Then by the powers of StarClan, I confer upon you your warrior name. Sunpaw, from
this day forth, you shall be known as Sunblaze, for your courage and enthusiasm." I
pressed my nose to her forehead as she licked my shoulder. "May you carry Sandclaw's
spirit with you through his lessons of patience and accuracy." Sunblaze and Sandclaw
stepped back and Leopardfrost and Leafpaw stepped forward. "Leopardfrost, do you believe
you have taught Leafpaw well, and she will remember those lessons through life and
battle?" I continued. "I do." Leopardfrost replied. "Then by the powers of StarClan,
Leafpaw, your new name shall be Leafstorm." Leafstorm copied Sunblaze in licking my
shoulder as I once again pressed my nose to her head. "May Leopardfrost's speed and
tactfulness always be with you." As Sunblaze and Leafstorm, along with the newly named
Featherblaze stepped back into the crowd, the entire clan began chanting their names.
Sunblaze! Leafstorm! Featherblaze! The other apprentices caught a lot of
fresh-kill, so the clan had a feast in celebration. Everyone was in their own little
groups, but the biggest group was around the new warriors of FireClan.

That night, while everyone else was asleep, the three cats stood guard on the traditional
vigil. Isn't it great Leafstorm? We're finally warriors! Leafstorm looked at
Sunblaze. We're supposed to be on vigil, remember? Sunblaze looked back at her.
Yeah, but we're not talking. The rule is to not talk, it doesn't say anything about
telepathy. Leafstorm's ears flattened. Featherblaze looked at her with a questioning
look on her face. She flicked her tail in dismissal, and Featherblaze continued looking
for intruders. Well, seeing as we're already communicating, I'm worried Sunblaze.What for?Why do we have these powers? It's not normal. I'm also feeling dread,
like something bad will happen.Well, to be honest me too. But what are we
supposed to do? I mean, we're getting stronger, we can do more with our powers now.But I don't think it's enough Sunblaze! I get the feeling of great evil disturbing some
balance, and I think we're supposed to stop it. Sunblaze didn't reply. We need to
get even stronger. We must try to practice our powers somehow, then maybe we'll be ready
for whatever is going to happen.Ok, but the only time we'd be able to without
notice would be at night. Do you think you can handle staying up late and waking up early
Leafstorm?I don't know, but we have no choice. I feel that time is our enemy, and
we must make haste. Starting tomorrow, we must use our powers to become stronger.

"Yaaawn! I guess that means our vigil is finally over right?" Said Sunblaze, stretching
out. Featherblaze also stretched out, and Leafstorm gave herself a shake that rippled
through her body. Then she and Sunblaze exchanged a glance before Ravenfeather assigned
the dawn and hunting patrols.

After Sunblaze and Leafstorm, along with the rest of the new sunset patrol returned to
camp, they curled up in their new warrior beds. It was comfortable, but Sunblaze knew that
she'd have to get up soon after everyone else was asleep. She waited in dark silence,
broken only by the soft breathing of the warriors. Once the breathing slowed and became a
pattern, Sunblaze heard Leafstorm's thoughts: Let's go. They carefully picked their
way out of the den, and once they got to the clearing, they were almost safe. Now we
just need to get past the guard.How do you think we should?Over
there. Leafstorm flicked her tail towards the fallen tree that made the den for the
elders. It fell from a cliff above, and the trunk just barely reached it. They climbed
carefully but quickly, and an elder began stirring as some dirt on the bark fell on his
nose. Their fur lie flat again as he returned to his sleep. They finally reached the
cliff, and climbed down on the other side, towards the forest bordering FrostClan
territory. When they got to a clearing, they looked around and saw a few boulders and
bushed, all enclosed by pine trees. "So, what should we do?" asked Sunblaze. "Well, maybe
we should see what all we can do." suggested Leafstorm. "Well, we can go into another
cat's dreams,-" "Have you tried anyone else besides me?" Leafstorm interrupted Sunblaze.
"Ok, so as far as we know, we can only go into each other's dreams, and we can be
physically hurt by them." Sunblaze corrected. "Yeah, it was hard explaining the cut on my
foot to Cloudheart before she knew." Sunblaze nodded. "We can communicate through our
minds, and I think that's all we know we can do." Leafstorm looked thoughtful. "What
about when that boulder fell on me while we were out hunting?" Sunblaze remembered. She
and Leafstorm were hunting near the cliffside, and Leafstorm ran after a rabbit that ran
into a small cave barely big enough for an apprentice, when a boulder fell on top of
Leafstorm. "Yeah, I lifted it without touching it." "Cloudheart was amazed that I
survived, she said that if you didn't get it off me right away like that, I wouldn't have
made it." Leafstorm said with an affectionate lick between Sunblaze's ears. "You think we
should try that?" Leafstorm looked around and picked out a nearby boulder slightly bigger
than the one that fell on her. She tried concentrating, and Sunblaze watched as she
momentarily glowed. Then the boulder started to glow, but it stopped and Leafstorm was out
of breath. "Let me try." said Sunblaze. She tried too, and the boulder glowed and moved
slightly, but she couldn't lift it either. Suddenly she felt as if she just ran to
StarClan and back. "Why... can't I... it worked... before..." She said between gasps.
Leafstorm was breathing easier now. "Maybe, you were driven to save me before, and that
helped you." Still wheezing, Sunblaze asked, "You wanna... try again?" She nodded.
"Just... give me a... few moments..." When she was breathing normally again, they both
tried together. This time, the boulder hovered for a couple seconds, but they lost it and
it landed with a soft thud. They both staggered a bit. "Once more!" Sunblaze said. They
focused with all their might. "Concentrate!" Sunblaze strained to say. It lifted higher
and higher, but Sunblaze heard a small gasp come from the bushes behind. The boulder
crashed on the ground. "Oh no!" Leafstorm gasped. Even though it was dark, Sunblaze and
Leafstorm could perfectly see the white pelt of FrostClan's medicine cat apprentice,
Dovepaw.

As Sunflower woke up she felt danger she went to see if something was happing but nothing
was soo she went back to sleep. But still worried she couldn't go back to sleep.
She dozes off after a while and she has a vision about the warriers practicing

OOC: Is It Just Me Or Do We Keep Skipping Ahead Alot? Just Sayin'
I sat in the medicine cat's supply areas looking at all the stock we had. This season was
treating us well, we weren't low on anything yet. The only problem was the lingering cats
and the prophecy's that still rang in my ears. Steadily they became fainter, but sooner or
later, I knew they would come true. But that wasn't all, with those prophecy's came dreams
of my long lost sister and a new version of her, she just looked a little foggy and I
couldn't really define her. As for the stuff about being related to Foxstar, Sunblaze and
Leafstorm, I've looked into it some more. And well if you could believe it, we were
related. It explained why I could feel the connection between them. Not that I'd gotten
around to telling them all about that yet, instead I was busy waiting, waiting for these
prophecy's to come true and to become a full medicine cat in the eyes of Cloudheart.
Looking up into the broad daylight of the sky as I came out of the supplies area I took a
deep breathe. Life had gotten complicated over the past little while, and it wasn't over
yet. Before life could become easy, it'd become even more complicated.
"Pebblespot, how is Almondpaw these days?" Brambleheart asked me as Blackhawk groomed her
fur.
"Fine, she's just waiting until she's declared to be a full medicine cat." I explained as
I laid some moss down in front of mother.
"I see, it seems that dreams of her sister has not reached her just yet then."
Brambleheart went on. I couldn't help but notice that father was sighing along with me at
the mention of Leopardkit.
"Brambleheart..."Father started. Bramble heart shook her head.
"Blackhawk, one day you and Pebblespot will regret not believing in me. Just you wait."
Brambleheart meowed with a satisfied smile. Blackhawk and I stared at her, not willing to
come up with an excuse for that one, and we clearly couldn't tell her that she'd been
losing her memory for too long. Neither was she a medicine cat anymore.
